So, if God is a she, were the smitings in the Old Testament a result of Divine PMS? And is the reason God is more mellow in the New Testament because she’s post-menopausal?
A divorce settlement with Satan (the real reason they hate each other naturally) and custody of the kid. Satan’s still mad God didn’t even raise the kid herself and let that Mary chick do it instead.
Being disrespectful to other religions is just not nice.
No one can ever understand that way. If you seriously want to
know about God you must look within yourself. But I can not
see that happening any time soon. Good luck anyway.
To paraphrase someone much smarter than myself…when religion was in charge, it ruled with an iron fist. Burning, torturing and killing any and all who spoke against it.
Now a few words are thrown around, and a certain segment of the religious community get their knickers in a twist.
If your religion/faith/god can’t take the criticism aimed at it, you should probably look a little harder at it’s foundation. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Good luck.
If god is a woman, that would make The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel a bit different. It would make you wonder what Adam is really reaching out for.
So is asserting subjective speculation and expecting it to be accepted as fact. And then complaining about disrespect when it’s questioned.
Joking about something is the norm. Religion does not get a pass.
A priest sees a boy standing in front of a monument outside the church and approaches him. The boy looks up and says “Father, what are all these names?” The priest replies “These are all of our parishioners who were lost in the service.” The boy is quiet for a minute, and then asks “The 9:30 or 11 o’clock service?”
Consider all the violence from Buddhists in Burma. Buddhists like the followers of many other religions are peaceful when they are weak. Make them the dominant religion and that “niceness” vanishes.
It’s not in Hesiod, or even Homer. But the entire Trojan War was part of a complicated scheme on her part to depose the Great Rapist from his throne; the entire deal did not come to fruition until September 22nd, 19 BCE.
I’m sure you did not mean to imply that I ever had a conversation with that disgusting goat-man or that he is anywhere near Pallas’s level. Pan is scum. So are satyrs and fauns. Exterminate the lot of them, I say.
ETA: I apologize for writing “eliminate” above. I meant murder.
